Strange pricing trying to lower my FiOS bill

I'm currently paying around $250/month for my FiOS, which includes the grandfathered Ultimate TV plan with all premium channels, including HBO. I realized I don't need these since we've got the streaming services, although I do use the HBO subscription I get for subscribing to the HBO cable channel so I may add that for $15 since it gives me ad-free HBO in the app). I don't want to get a new STB since I have stuff on my DVR, so I am sticking with old plans and going to either Extreme or Preferred HD. I'm at $176.99 with Extreme and 100mb (free upgrade from 50mb, yes, I never upgraded). Anyway, the website claims I can save $15 by switching from Extreme to Preferred, but the rate goes up when I do that. It also claims I can get 300mb for the same price (or maybe $9.99 less) than 100mb, but the rate also goes up. And strangely, it claims it wants me to return a VMS1100 STB, even though I'll still need it (and it shows me paying for it in the new quote and I did not upgrade to FiOS One). I keep logging in too late to catch the chat people. Will they be able to come up with a more accurate price? Are there any promotions I can get, like free HBO or streaming packs for a few months?
Suggestions, maybe advice on how to get the best deal for an existing customer? Thanks.
